Can we measure how this site is used?

Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load only if you accept. What they collect

Grapple Gaming

Network

Built here, and only here.

The first node is planned for Johannesburg. No server runs yet, so there is no ping figure until we have measured one on the node you would actually be on.

Self-serve setup

32 games use an unattended setup.

The RAM ranges and player counts are guidance. Performance still needs to be measured. The other 80 in the catalogue are set up by us for each order.

Two node classes

One class sets itself up. One we build for you.

Budget

Shared fair use CPU, sized for vanilla and lightly modded private servers.

Self-serve

32

Use an unattended setup. The player counts each plan states are guidance, not yet measured on our hardware.

Premium

For the games that need more than a click: Wine, a Steam login, or a size only a person can judge.

Set up by us

80

Built by us for each server, then handed over like any other.

Where it is

One country. No region picker.

A twelve location map is what you build when the local market is an afterthought. South African players have spent years on European servers. There is nothing to pick here, on purpose.

Questions

The hardware questions answered straight.

What does shared fair use CPU actually mean?
You are not buying dedicated cores. Plans are sized for vanilla and light modded servers. If your server starts affecting other people on the node we will talk to you about a bigger plan.
Where are the servers?
South Africa. The first node is planned for Johannesburg and none runs yet. The point is local latency for local players instead of routing to Europe.
What ping should I expect?
We have not measured it on the hardware you would actually be on, so there is no number on this site. When we have a measured figure, we will say where it was measured from.
Can I run mods and plugins?
Yes, and the plan sizes assume you will. Heavy modpacks are the exception: they need more CPU than shared fair use gives you, which is why the larger sizes exist.
Why are some games marked set up by us?
Because they need more than a click. Some run under Wine, some need a Steam account that owns the game, and some are heavy enough that a person has to size them. You order them like anything else and one of us builds it.
How many games can I actually order?
All hundred and twelve. Thirty two use an unattended setup, and eighty are set up by us after you order. Every game page states which.
Why does Minecraft have one page for Java and Bedrock?
Because it is one server you choose how to run, not two products. The page covers both editions and the plan sizes are the same either way.
What does it cost?
Prices are set when ordering opens.
Can I order right now?
Not yet. Ordering is in development and opens later, so nothing on this site takes payment.
How do I get hold of you?
Email [email protected]. That reaches a person rather than a queue. Discord is in development and will appear on the contact page when it exists.
